So much to say!

Well, it's been a few weeks since I've posted. Griffin and I spent 10 wonderful days in Hilton Head. While there we patiently prayed for Spring to arrive in Chicago. I'm happy to say, that as of this weekend, it has. I have so many pictures to show and don't know how on earth my sister-in-law posts them all together. I guess I'll just post one at a time and you'll have to do a lot of scrolling!

Our vacation started with a 6:00am flight out of O'Hare. The day prior it snowed 5 inches and the airport canceled over 500 flights. We were SO lucky to have ours leave on time. We got to Hilton Head in time for lunch and a little kayak trip for Griffin and his "BG" (what he affectionately calls his grandmother). You see, BG belongs to this great group of kayaking women and they were hosting a demonstration at a park nearby. Griffin got his first taste of a paddle and loved it.


We spent the remainder of the week spending as much time as possible outside. We went to the pool nearly every day (we had to hit the indoor pool on the cooler days) and managed the beach twice. Our wonderful friends, the Driskells from Atlanta made it over to visit with us. They were heading to Dufuskie Island for a wedding. On Saturday morning, Griffin and I made our way to Hilton Head Island to take an hour long ferry boat over to Dufuskie. Then a trolley met us and all the golfers to take us to the resort. Then Betsy and Davis came to pick us up in the golf cart. We walked the beach and went to the pool and lunch with them. It was super fun.
This was on the ferry.


This is Griffin, Davis and Ellie.
















One of our favorite things to do with our Grampie is take a woods walk. We all ventured out this time since the weather was so nice and the bugs are not out yet. You see, the bugs in SC are terrible. You do NOT want to be in the woods which are near lagoons in bug season. Here's Griffin with his Grampie.

And I will leave you with one last picture. When we came out of the woods and rounded the lagoon THIS is what was there to greet us and welcome us back!
